I've just been to the site for VIN decoding.

I get a message saying please ensure 17 digits

My VIN is only 9 (including 1 letter)

I've only recently got the bike and have only got the V5 back from Swansea a couple of weeks ago

Can anyone shed any light on this anomaly ?

Cheers Drewpy, according to that list, I have a 1980 SR 250 G

But mine is a "declared manufactured 1982" model, first registered in the UK 1988

Any further info would be appreciated

Wow thank you drewpy!! been looking for ages trying to figure out what year my bike is, every site i went on tried telling me if i have a 9 digit vin its older than 1981. Yet it has hydraulic front disc brake and other parts that look identical to 1986 bikes which the bike happens to be.

will this help any?

This was a great help! Quick question... The list has 'RT1', but not the 'RTI' prefix my inherited basket case has... Any thoughts? It's a 71, pretty positive it's an enduro. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
